crecord: fix issue when backgrounding editor would leave artefact
Before this patch:
- if a user was entering a commit message after having ran the curses
interface
- and then uses ctrl-z, followed by fg to put the editor in the
background/foreground
- then the curses interface would leave artefact on the screen of
the editor, making entering the commit message a difficult task
This happened because ncurses registers a signal handler for SIGTSTP and
does not restore the original signal handler after running.

31441709#31441709
This patch restores the original value of the signal handler after
running the curses interface and therefore fixes this issue.
It don't know how to add a test for this issue, I tested the scenario
above manually and it works correctly with the patch.
